PredictFi

PredictFi is a blockchain-based prediction market platform that enables users to forecast real-world events and transact using ERC20 tokens. Built with Next.js and integrated with ThirdWeb, PredictFi ensures transparency, security, and decentralization in prediction-based transactions.

Features

• Decentralized Prediction Market – Users can predict outcomes in various categories, including sports, politics, and finance.
• Blockchain-Powered Transactions – Smart contracts handle predictions and payouts, ensuring complete fairness and immutability.
• ERC20 Token Integration – Transactions and rewards are conducted in standard ERC20 tokens.
• Seamless User Experience – Built with Next.js for a fast, responsive, and scalable interface.
• ThirdWeb Integration – Simplifies blockchain interactions, making deployment and token management efficient.

Technologies Used

• Next.js – React-based framework for server-side rendering and optimized performance.
• Solidity – Smart contract development language for Ethereum.
• ThirdWeb – Simplifies blockchain deployment and interactions.
• ERC20 Standard – Ensures compatibility with Ethereum-based tokens.
• Foundry (Forge) – Smart contract testing and deployment framework.
• Tailwind CSS – Modern utility-first styling for a clean UI.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (LTS version recommended)
• npm or yarn
